Hi,

We planted a new dogwood last spring and it made it over the winter and appears ready to bloom. Unfortunately, I discovered on closer inspection that the trunk is damaged and it looks pretty bad to me. I can't imagine how the tree is still living. Can someone give me some opinions on what the problem is from and what I should do about it?

Thanks,
:-)
